Interface has released the 2300 High Capacity Load Cell, the latest series of load sensors. In contrast to conventional, high volume load cell sensors, the 2300 series is lightweight and features a hollow-column layout. It also provides a suitable flange-mounted casing to support easy installation in automotive, aerospace and materials assessment.
The 2300 load sensor series can be availed in three metric models, which have capacities of 2000, 1000 and 630 kN compression as well as tension. The 2300 model offers accurate feedback for determining huge load forces that will significantly benefit industries that require simplified installation.
The 2300 High Capacity Load Cell is highly precise and offers a static error band of 0.05%. Every model of 2300 load sensor series is separately assessed and calibrated in tension and compression. The resultant output is set up to deliver 2 mV/V in tension and compression spans. Similar diameter and bolt system is utilized on active and inactive ends.
Ted Haller, President of Interface, stated that the 2300 Series load cell is an ideal substitute for the company’s high capacity sensors and the flange mounting layout facilitates easy installation in a number of applications. The optional aspects of 2300 series include a TEDS calibration to IEEE 1451.4 and dual bridge for measuring axial force.
The load cells are manufactured using strain gages, which are made from a novel alloy. The alloy offers innately temperature remunerated output. The temperature properties of the strain gages is altered by specific methods to precisely match and neutralize the temperature properties of the structural material of the load cell, thereby offering an output which is unresponsive to temperature. The bridge circuit is reliable and simple. Variations in output responsiveness caused by changes in temperature are compensated automatically.
